Early American Imprints, Series I: Evans, 1639 - 1800 Based on the renowned American Bibliography by Charles Evans and enhanced by Roger Bristol's Supplement to Evans' American Bibliography, the collection was first published by Readex in cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) on microfilm. It contains virtually every book, pamphlet and broadside published in America over a 160-year period.
Readex and the AAS are now digitizing the entire Evans collection. Early American Imprints, Series I: Evans, 1639-1800 includes items previously produced on microform plus more than 1,000 additional works located, cataloged and digitized since completion of the earlier effort.
